It's a bug. One I've been pretty annoyed about in the past too, but 
the mutt developers don't seem interested in changing mutt's behavior. 
The space there triggers mutt to replace everything you've typed thus 
far with the name of whatever mailboxes contain new email. There's no 
way to turn this behavior off. I think mutt should only do that if 
space is the *first* character that you type, but there's no way to 
make it do that either.

The only workaround I've found is to use tab-completion to make mutt 
insert the space for you. Assuming none of your other mailboxes begin 
with "Sent", something like this would work:

     macro S index '<change-folder>=Sent<tab><enter>'
